vii The revised edition of this book is designed with a greater emphasis on text and collocation, in keeping with recent trends in the world of English as a Foreign Language. It also incorporates the many changes to the revised proficiency examination from December 2002, such as word formation and multiple word meaning. The book is also intended for use at the level of CAE, and includes new exercises practising the formal/informal register transfer task. Most of the practice sections in the Grammar and Vocabulary sections reflect such changes, and where texts are retained from the first edition, they have been given more of an exam focus. However, the core of this highly successful book remains the same. The grammar section now includes some additional revision and more subtle advanced points. Units on phrasal verbs, prepositions and linking devices are also included. The grammatical information provided can be used for reference when needed, or worked through systematically. The vocabulary section includes topic-based vocabulary, collocations and idiomatic phrases. It also recycles work on prepositions, and phrasal verbs. The book can be used as a self-study reference grammar and practice book or as supplementary material in classes preparing for the CAE and Proficiency exams. If used for classwork, activities can be done individually or co-operatively in pairs or small groups. There are regular consolidation units which include forms of testing commonly used in both exams and the material covers a range of difficulty appropriate to both exams. vm
Explanations
Basic contrasts:
present simple and present continuousState verbs and
event (action or dynamic) verbsPresent simple generally refers to:
Facts that are always true
Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius.
Habits
British people drink a lot of tea.
States
/ don't like gangster films. Present continuous (progressive) generally refers to actions which are in progress at the moment. These can be temporary:I'm staying in a hotel until I find a fiat.
They can be actually in progress:
The dog is sleeping on our bed!
Or they can be generally in progress but not actually happening at the moment:I'm learning to drive.
State verbs describe a continuing state, so do not usually have a continuous form. Typical examples are: believe, belong, consist, contain, doubt, fit, have, know, like, love, matter, mean, need, own, prefer, seem, suppose, suspect, understand, want, wish Some verbs have a stative meaning and a different active meaning. Typical examples are: be, depend, feel, have, measure, see, taste, think, weighCompare these uses:
EventJill's being noisy.
We're having an interesting conversation!
David's thinking about getting a new job.
I'm just tasting the soup.
I'm feeling terrible.
We're weighing the baby.
Bill, I'm depending on you to win this
contract for us. The differences here apply to all verb forms, not just to present verb forms. StateJack is noisy.
Deirdre has a Porsche.
I think I like you!
This fish tastes awful!
I feel that you are wrong.
This bag weighs a ton!
It depends what you mean.
ADVANCED LANGUAGE PRACTICE
Other uses of
present continuousOther uses of
present simpleTemporary situations

Repeated actions

You are always making snide remarks about my cooking! Other possible adverbs are: constantly, continually, foreverWith verbs describing change and development
The weather is getting worse!
More and more people are giving up smoking.
Making declarations
Verbs describing opinions and feelings tend to be state verbs.I hope you'll come to my party.
I bet you don't know the answer!
I hereby declare this hospital open!
Headlines
These are written in a 'telegram' style, and references to the past are usually simplified to present simple.Ship sinks in midnight collision.
Instructions and itineraries
Instructions and recipes can be written in present simple instead of in imperative forms. This style is more personal.First you roll out the pastry.
Itineraries are descriptions of travel arrangements.On day three we visit Stratford-upon-Avon.
Summaries of events
Plots of stories, films etc, and summaries of historical events use present (and present perfect) verb forms.May 1945: The war in Europe conies to an end.
...At the end of the play both families realise that their hatred caused the deaths of the lovers ... 'Historic present' in narrative and funny stories In informal speech, it is possible to use what we call the 'historic present' to describe past events, especially to make the narration seem more immediate and dramatic. ...
